On Clouds

A celestial love story

Into another plain you watch me             

remembering the soft kisses we shared     

your tears fall in May most of the time       

Passersby are unaware.                         

 

Now and again, you sit beside me

the room cooling instantaneously

Wanting to converse with me again

Noiseless words flow aimlessly

 

Soul-stirring my features comforts me

when I'm lonely, mournful or afraid

your celestial heart is breaking

yearning to help in some way

 

Since the day the train took you away

You've resided in the  house that we built

Tormented with knowing what you did

Your spirit carries the guilt

 

Aged pictures abreast of my bed

Acquainted eyes beckoning to belong

Stroking the glass with my fingertips

Daydreaming he wasn't gone

 

Positioning myself on pillows

Swaddling my hands underneath my chin

I wondered if you have longed for me

and if I'd see you again

 

Your apparition circumscribes me

Embracing tranquility as I sleep

My dreams navigate me to your arms

On clouds, we make love and weep.

very enigmatic yet completely aware... your word skills are phenomenal.. I was entranced by the images you described. I enjoyed this piece immensely.

A powerfully penned poem that is deep...you seem to say one thing which is tender and sweet, yet there seems to be images in this poem that indicate a strong negative force behind this writing. 'Your spirit carries the guilt' Holly

[Legion]

Such longing. Wonderfully thought out. That last line ties the whole piece together. Written well.

I love this yet it leads me wanting to know more of the story...like what happened that this person went away...guilt for what??? However that is what makes it interesting sometimes, filling in the blanks with your own imagination, thanks for sharing this.
